comedy ecchi harem romance |
SynopsisKouta, a country boy who lives with his grandfather, is now moving to the city to attend high school. Changes come with his new home and new school, but nothing could have prepared the gentle young man for girls, specifically a bombshell fox spirit named Chizuru. As if her aggressive advances weren't enough, he also catches the attention of a frosty wolf spirit named Nozomu.
Kouta is dragged into supernatural events as a result of his contact with the two girls, and his school life only gets more chaotic by the day. But with a girl who gives "foxy" new meaning and another howling after him, things are looking up for his love life.

If you're not into ecchi shows, steer away. If you like them, maybe you'll enjoy Kanokon. If you like wolf/fox girls as well, Kanokon is a show you probably want to watch.
The premise is basic, and not really original. The "hot" girl (Chizuru), who also happens to be a fox spirit, is totally in love with the most lady-shy boy (Kouta) around. Then another one comes (Nozomu), she is a wolf spirit at that, and guess what? She happens to love him too. They both fight for his attention with a lot of ecchi antics, and the rest I'll leave to your imagination...
The story itself is pretty much an episode-by-episode story; there's not a lot of stuff that binds the episodes together. The ecchi-ness isn't lacking; Chizuru and Nozomu's ecchi-filled attempts at winning Kouta's affection comes out of nowhere sometimes, and if you're a fan of it, you'll more than likely enjoy it..
The animation wasn't all that; everyone looked much younger than they actually are - Kouta looks like he's an elementary school student when he's actually a high school student. That has its impact on the overall feel of the show (ecchi + people who looks like elementary school students = bad combination), but you'll probably get used to it. At least I did. Aside that, the animation quality is fair enough.
The soundtrack is average, nothing spectacular, but nothing out of place either. The OP and ED themes are fair too, but not something I'd listen to aside when watching the show. Voice acting is okay too, though Kouta sounds like he's an elementary school student too >_<
The characters are nothing really special. No character development, and no original characters can drag down the enjoyment factor if you're picky when it comes to that.
Overall, this was a fair show, but nothing exceptional.
To 'Not Helpful' voters (and you 'Helpful' voters too): Feedback greatly appreciated =) read more

Kanokon never gave me a boring moment to think about why I am watching this. First off, this is a "love it, or hate it" anime. Those who can withstand the ecchiness will love it, else they'll find it very annoying or to some extend even disgusting (repulsive is the word I am getting at...). It is plainly obvious that the anime is targeting the MALE audience. Yes girls, this anime is NOT FOR YOU! With that in mind, we'll proceed with the review.
This is perhaps THE closest anime to hentai you can ever find (well, lets just say it is at least on par to the well know fan service friendly Ikkitousen series). The ecchiness of Kanokon is beyond imagination! Though the rating states "Mild Nudity", I think it is more appropriate for it to say "Heavy Nudity" (especially after watching episode 7).
Story:
For a 12 episode long anime, the story is bit on the slow side at the beginning. Though I understand that some episodes were needed for character development. It is nice on one hand that the producer managed to wrap things up with various couples in the show, but there were still mysteries left unresolved. The most notable one is the mystery behind the young girl with the teddy bear. Perhaps they will cover that in the manga (if it’s not already been covered), or perhaps there’ll be a 2nd season for Kanokon, we’ll wait and see.
Artwork:
The artwork was a bit weird for me at first (mainly the eyes and the cheeks…they look really “cartoon-ish”), but after getting used to it, the animation quality is actually quite nice.
Others:
Nothing particular to comment on regarding the sound (though the opening is quite good for the show). Characters are all very lively (though not always in a believable way).
Overall:
Overall, the anime is very very enjoyable if you are planning on watching ecchi anime to begin with. But for those who are in fact intending to watch hentai, then you might be disappointed (well perhaps you can try the DVD specials, those are known for intense fan service).
Lastly, I would like to praise the director for doing a job well done. He has so cleverly made an anime just bordering the 17+/18+ line. I can’t imagine watching this on prime time anime channels here in my country. read more

An out of this world creature, loving an human earthling boy.
Over-sexed female lead chasing after average male lead in both. Kanokon is a poor man's To Love-Ru though ...
An over-the top comedy about a lively girl who goes to great lengths to win the affection of a boy she falls in love with at first sight. Both anime involve school life, weird gadgets/unnatural powers, and lots of crazy fanservice.
Same kind of Ecchi show, girl over boy, crazy setting from the very start.
involves a unrealistic girl who likes a human boy...and is packed with some ecchi
The story is pretty similar (but here the number of girls in love is bigger than every anime before lol), very funny anime, of course with a lot of fanservice and gags.

Both are about a inhuman girl, who falls in love with a human boy. Both are school, comedy, and very echii series!
Kanokon and R+V are similar in many aspects, first and foremost the ecchi one. Moreover, they have overly pushy "beauties" who assault the "unlucky" male protagonist, who by the way is a bit of a whimp. Both are also set in school, and have different supernatural aspects to them.
Both have a male caracter being persued by many girls.
Both have unneeded ecchi in them. You want loads of random panty shots? Both of these have them.
both have girls with power that love a human without any power
If you liked Rosario + Vampire i think you will like Kanokon.
similar:
Girls surounding one boy.
Mystic powers.
Harem.
